DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The automatic weighing vending cabinet 100 in the embodiment includes a cabinet body 10, a cabinet door 11, a goods channel 12 and a layer plate module 20.

[0037] The cabinet body 10 has an opening on one side, and the cabinet door 11 is arranged to cover the opening and is openable and closable. The multi-layer goods channel 12 is arranged in the cabinet body 10 in the height direction and is spaced apart.

[0038] The plurality of layer plate modules 20 have optional types of carrying different numbers and sizes of material boxes 21. The layer plate modules 20 of different optional types are integrally provided with weighing sensors (not shown in the figure) and display screens 22 corresponding to the numbers of the material boxes 21. The layer plate modules 20 of different optional types are integrally assembled in and disassembled from the corresponding goods channels 12 through the opening.

[0039] Specifically, the weighing sensors are arranged on the layer plate modules 20 and are connected to the lower side of the material boxes 21, for weighing the products in the material boxes 21. The display screens 22 are arranged on the side of the layer plate modules 20 facing the opening and are located below the corresponding material boxes 21. The display screens 22 display the product information in the corresponding material boxes 21, such as the product type, the inventory number, the product weight and the like.

[0040] Reference Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment, each layer plate module 20 is provided with 1, 2, 4, 6, or 10 material boxes 21, and is assembled into the goods channel 12 from bottom to top. Each layer plate module 20 is integrally provided with a weighing sensor and a display screen 22 corresponding to the number of material boxes 21. By integrally integrating the material box 21, the weighing sensor, and the display screen 22 in the layer plate module 20, when assembling and replacing in the later period, the staff carries the corresponding model of the layer plate module 20, and the assembly and replacement can be quickly completed by assembling and disassembling the entire layer plate module 20, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement, and effectively reduces the maintenance cost.

[0041] It can be understood that, Figure 1 The layer plate module assembly form shown is only an example, and the number and size of the material boxes 21 in each integrally integrated layer plate module 20 can be customized according to actual use requirements, and the model of the layer plate module 20 corresponding to each goods channel 12 can be determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited specifically herein.

[0042] Further, the cabinet 10 usually needs to be provided with an anti-toppling plate to prevent the cabinet from toppling over. However, the traditional anti-toppling plate is a whole iron bottom plate, which has problems of heavy weight, high cost, and complex installation.

[0043] In the embodiment, the cabinet 10 is provided with an anti-toppling plate 14 on both sides of the bottom, and the anti-toppling plate 14 is provided in an extended manner along the assembly direction of the layer plate module 20.

[0044] Specifically, the length of the anti-toppling plate 14 is set to be longer than the depth of the cabinet 10. When the layer plate module 20 is pulled out for maintenance, the center of the cabinet 10 will move forward. Since the front fulcrum of the extended anti-toppling plate 14 is far beyond the center of the cabinet 10, the safety accident caused by the toppling of the cabinet 10 when the layer plate module 20 is pulled out for maintenance can be effectively avoided. The extended anti-toppling plate 14 can make the position of the cabinet 10 more stable.

[0045] Further, each layer plate module 20 is provided with a layer controller (not shown in the figure), and the layer controller is in communication and electrical connection with the weighing sensor and the display screen 22 corresponding to each material box 21 through a layer plate wire harness.

[0046] The top end of the cabinet 10 is also provided with a general controller 13 and a power module (not shown in the figure) in electrical connection with the general controller 13, and the general controller 13 is in communication and electrical connection with the layer controller corresponding to each layer plate module 20 through a cable.

[0047] Specifically, the weighing sensor and the display screen 22 corresponding to each hopper 21 are connected with the layer controller through the layer harness, and the layer controller of each layer module 20 is electrically and communicatively connected with the total controller 13, so that the line is effectively avoided from being messy. Meanwhile, the total controller 13 only needs to manage the layer controllers, effectively simplifying the system complexity and reducing the global communication load. Moreover, the assembly, replacement or maintenance of the single-layer layer module 20 will not affect the global operation, increasing the system reliability.

[0048] The communication protocol between the total controller 13 and the layer controller is CAN protocol. When the layer controller of the layer module 20 is connected with the total controller 13, the total controller 13 can be actively informed of the addition of the new layer module 20 through the CAN command, and the specific specifications of the new layer module 20 are provided, so that the new layer module 20 can be assembled and replaced under the condition of uninterrupted power supply and the automatic weighing vending cabinet 100 can work normally.

[0049] The plug-in interface 23 of the layer harness is arranged in each layer module 20, and the total controller 13 is connected with the layer controller through the plug-in interface 23 of the layer harness.

[0050] Specifically, when the layer module 20 is assembled or taken out, the total controller 13 can be connected or disconnected with the layer controller through the plug-in interface 23, realizing the plug-and-play of the layer module 20 and facilitating the quick taking out and assembly replacement of the layer module 20.

[0051] In the embodiment, the automatic weighing vending cabinet 100 can also be provided with a face recognition component or a card swiping induction component for opening the cabinet door 11 and being communicatively connected with the total controller 13, so as to realize the face recognition or card swiping to open the door to take the goods in the cabinet 10 and automatically record the type and quantity of the taken goods and feed back to the background.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 Each layer channel 12 includes the first lower track 121 and the second lower track 122 oppositely arranged at the two sides inside the cabinet 10, the first upper limiting plate 123 is arranged in parallel above the first lower track 121, the second upper limiting plate 124 is arranged in parallel above the second lower track 122, and the two sides of the layer module 20 are respectively arranged between the first lower track 121 and the first upper limiting plate 123 and between the second lower track 122 and the second upper limiting plate 124.

[0053] Further, reference Figure 3The bottom two sides of the layer plate module 20 are provided with rollers 24, and the rollers 24 are located at the rear position of the layer plate module 20. The rollers 24 can roll on the upper surfaces of the first lower rail 121 and the second lower rail 122. The layer plate module 20 is pulled out by rolling along the first lower rail 121 and the second lower rail 122, which facilitates the pulling out of the layer plate module 20.

[0054] With reference to Figure 4 The first upper limiting plate 123 and the second upper limiting plate 124 are provided with clamps 125, and the first upper limiting plate 123 and the second upper limiting plate 124 are provided with through holes 126 corresponding to the clamping heads of the clamps 125.

[0055] Specifically, the clamp 125 is a quick clamp, which can quickly control the pressure head of the clamp 125 to press down or rise. When the pressure head of the clamp 125 presses down, it can press down through the through hole 126 to the upper surface of the layer plate module 20, thereby pressing the layer plate module 20 to fix its position. The cooperation of the clamp 125 and the through hole 126 can fix the position of the layer plate module 20 assembled into the goods channel 12, preventing the layer plate module 20 from being damaged by front and rear impact in the unfixed state.

[0056] With reference to Figure 5 The opposite sides of the first lower rail 121 and the second lower rail 122 are provided with transverse limiting columns 127, which are arranged near the opening position of the cabinet 10. The bottom two sides of the layer plate module 20 correspond to the transverse limiting columns 127 and are provided with vertical limiting columns 128, which are arranged near the rear end of the material box 21 in the vertical direction.

[0057] Specifically, with reference to Figure 6 The cooperation of the transverse limiting column 127 and the vertical limiting column 128 forms a limiting position near the opening position of the cabinet 10. After the layer plate module 20 is pulled out to the limiting position, the vertical limiting column 128 is limited by the transverse limiting column 127, preventing the layer plate module 20 from moving outward, and ensuring the position stability of the layer plate module 20 after being pulled out. At the same time, the part of the layer plate module 20 where the material box 21 is arranged can be exposed to the outside of the cabinet 10, facilitating the addition, taking and weighing of products, and the maintenance of the weighing sensor, the layer controller, the display screen 22, the material box 21 and other parts.

[0058] The first upper limiting plate 123 and the second upper limiting plate 124 are provided with a top gap away from the transverse limiting column 127 in the horizontal direction at one end corresponding to the opening. The top gap provides a redundant space for the upward lifting of the layer plate module 20 after being pulled out. The vertical length of the redundant space is greater than that of the vertical limiting column 128.

[0059] Specifically, after the layer plate module 20 is extracted to the limiting position formed by the transverse limiting column 127 and the vertical limiting column 128, the vertical limiting column 128 is blocked by the transverse limiting column 127 in the horizontal direction and cannot be continuously extracted. Figure 7 At this time, by lifting the layer plate module 20 through the redundant space formed by the top gap of the first upper limiting plate 123 and the second upper limiting plate 124, the vertical limiting column 128 can be lifted to a position higher than the transverse limiting column 127 and synchronously moved outward, so that the layer plate module 20 can be extracted, and the rapid extraction of the entire layer plate module 20 is realized.

[0060] Referring to Figure 8 The assembly method of the automatic weighing vending cabinet of the embodiment is used for the automatic weighing vending cabinet 100 and includes the following steps.

[0061] The layer plate module preparation step S1 selects the integrally integrated layer plate module 20 of the corresponding type according to the goods channel 12 to be assembled or the layer plate module 20 to be replaced in the goods channel 12.

[0062] The layer plate module assembly step S2 extracts the layer plate module 20 to be replaced in the goods channel 12 or directly integrally assembles the prepared layer plate module 20 in the corresponding goods channel 12 through the opening.

[0063] Specifically, the integrally integrated layer plate module 20 has different types and respectively corresponds to the carrying of different numbers and size specifications of the box 21, and simultaneously integrally has the weighing sensor and the display screen 22 corresponding to each box 21. When the staff performs assembly or replacement, only the corresponding type of the layer plate module 20 needs to be carried to the site, the connection cable of the total controller 13 is pulled out after being connected to the plug-in interface 23 of the layer plate harness, the layer plate module 20 previously assembled in the goods channel 12 is pulled out to the limiting position, and then the layer plate module 20 can be quickly extracted by being lifted upward and continuously moved outward.

[0064] Meanwhile, when the assembly is performed, the layer plate module 20 prepared in advance is pushed into the goods channel 12 through the opening, and the connection cable of the total controller 13 is inserted into the plug-in interface 23 of the layer plate harness, so that the assembly can be completed. The assembly and replacement of the layer plate module 20 can be quickly completed without power-off and under the condition that the automatic weighing vending cabinet 100 normally operates, and the operation is simple, and the maintenance cost is effectively reduced.

[0065] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection range of the utility model.
